Music Director Jaime Laredo leads the VSO in a program as colorful as our famous fall foliage. Our traditional world premiere commission takes a creative twist as we partner with the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival to pair Brattleboro composer Paul Dedell’s new work with a new film by Jesse Kreitzer. Dedell’s work will be presented in concert format during our fall tour. Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante, a richly inventive double concerto for violin and viola, features Jaime Laredo and his longtime colleague, superstar violinist Pamela Frank. Lighthearted works by Gluck and Britten round out the program.

Tickets available online through the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts and Catamount Arts. Tickets are also available in person at the following locations: Community National Bank locations in Derby, Derby Line, and Newport, and the MAC Center for the Arts.

Nunsense (1985) is a musical comedy with a book, music, and lyrics by Dan Goggin. Originating as a line of greeting cards, Goggin expanded the concept into a cabaret that ran for 38 weeks, and eventually into a full-length musical. The original Off-Broadway production opened December 12, 1985, running for 3,672 performances and becoming the second-longest-running Off-Broadway show in history. The show has since been adapted for television, starring Rue McClanahan, and has spawned six sequels and three spin-offs.
